UNSPSC 50611709: Canned or jarred Non GMO blair avocados

The variety of Non GMO avocados known as Non GMO blair avocados that have been canned or jarred for preservation. This means that they are produced without the use of methods that genetically modify organisms by means that are not possible under natural conditions. Such methods include cell fusion, microencapsulation and macro-encapsulation, and recombinant DNA technology (including gene deletion, gene doubling, introducing a foreign gene, and changing the positions of genes when achieved by recombinant DNA technology).

Traditional methods of breeding, conjugation, fermentation, hybridization, in vitro fertilization, or tissue culture are considered to be non-GMO.

UNSPSC 50611709 Canned or jarred Non GMO Blair avocados is a Commodity code that encompasses shelf-stable, jarred or canned avocado products for institutional food service operations. Recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code, however, show little actual demand for canned or jarred avocados specifically. The most recent opportunities posted to this code involve broad consumable food procurement for state health and human services facilities, correctional institutions, school nutrition programs, and county social services — encompassing hundreds of line items spanning proteins, produce, dairy, dry goods, and food service supplies. The issuing bodies include state health and human services commissions (Texas), state corrections agencies (Oregon), state comptroller procurement offices (Texas), county boards of commissioners (Georgia), school districts (Texas, Georgia), and state nutrition authorities (Illinois). This is a fragmented buyer base with no single dominant repeat purchaser; Texas HHS facilities appear most frequently across multiple separate solicitations for the Lufkin and El Paso State Supported Living Centers, and school districts in Georgia (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools) have posted separate food bids.

Geographic activity centers on Texas, Georgia, and Oregon, with additional solicitations from Illinois. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0018082 (posted October 16, 2026; due October 23, 2026) for 22 line items of consumable foods and food service supplies for the Lufkin State Supported Living Center with annual quantities ranging from 1 to 24 cases per item; the Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IWQ 140229 (posted October 13, 2026; due October 19, 2026) for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food products including peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, rice, pasta, sauces, and canned vegetables for the Department of Community Services; and the Oregon Department of Corrections' bid for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (posted June 5, 2026; due June 19, 2026) meeting USDA Grade B or better, delivered to the Central Distribution Center in Salem. No recent opportunities specifically name canned or jarred avocados as a line item, and the code shows minimal relevant procurement activity for the specialized product it nominally describes.
